An auto insurance agent will make up to about $100,000 every year. A typical auto insurance agent will earn more than $1 million per year as well. Insurance agents who only make commission and make salaries tend to make more money than agents who just make a commission and don't make any salary. Unfortunately, at least in many states, what a typical insurance agent makes is a closely guarded secret. So, the people who get the most money from auto insurance don't have to tell the people who can't even find out about it.
Most of these companies will only offer a percentage of the insurance they sell to new companies. This percentage is based upon the size of the company and also what type of insurance policy they are selling. Auto insurance agents can also provide you with better offer if you do have a better realtion with them. For example, if a car was insured with a liability policy the insurance company would only cover liability for the vehicle. If the car was insured with a comprehensive insurance policy, the insurance company would pay for any type of damage to the car or to the person that was driving it. The company would also pay for the repairs that the person has to pay for themselves if the car is totaled. All of this information is kept top secret by the insurance company, so that you have no idea what kind of coverage you are getting. You might find that the insurance company that you purchased insurance from doesn't have nearly the amount of coverage as you were led to believe.
